That’s 14 seconds of pure, unadulterated goodness. Helpful commenters on the video have pointed out that snakes require friction to slither the way they normally do, but the fleece is too smooth — meaning that the snake might not be giving itself a belly rub, but instead desperately trying to escape its situation.

Who knows, really? All we can say for sure is that this video put a smile on our faces, and that’s gotta be good for something. (Even if it’s at a snake’s expense.)
